Sport Clubs

About:

The Sport Clubs program provides students, faculty, and staff with the opportunity to participate in a variety of competitive, instructional, and recreational sports.

A sport club is a registered student organization formed by individuals with a common interest in a particular sport or recreational activity. They are student-initiated and student-managed. Members gain a valuable learning experience through their involvement in the organization, leadership, administration, scheduling, fundraising, public relations, and skills development.

Sport Clubs

Sport clubs are student organizations that compete against other teams in our region, and sometimes even nationally. Intramural Sport teams are teams created here at the University that only compete against other peer teams at UNC Charlotte.

Go to the Sport Club Directory for a full list of active sport clubs. Each link will direct you to the selected club’s Niner Engage page. On this page, you will find contact information for the club. Contact the club’s president or other officers for details regarding practices, try-outs, or events for the club.

The number of weekly practices and competitions vary widely for each club. Most clubs practice two days per week for two hours each, and compete every other weekend. Contact the club to find out specific practice times and competition information.

Most clubs require that members pay dues on an annual or semester basis. In addition to the membership dues, some clubs require specific equipment which may increase the overall cost to participate. Costs vary widely for each club, so contact the sport club president to find out specific information and to discuss special circumstances.

Most of the sport clubs travel within our region to compete against clubs from other universities. A few of our sport clubs may travel on a national level to various locations, including: Texas, Indiana, and Michigan.
